1. What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?
I have developed the ability of looking at a grid system, taking it, and being able to figure out what type of grid
it is, it allows me to effectively apply my own grid systems to my layout, and create a design that has informed
decisions rather than throwing something onto a page. I have also looked into the beginnings of typography,
I am able to understand the classifications of a type, how fonts are created, the rules behind typography, thus
improving my designs as I can work grid layouts with effective typography.

2. What approaches to/methods of design production have you developed and how have they informed your
design development process?
I have developed the use of thumbnails, before this module I never understood the various aspects of thumbnailing
and how much they will help your work. They informed my design development by creating lots of designs
then having a range of different designs to pick from and develop, I then used further thumbnails to develop
these designs further.

3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?
The strengths of my work are the ability to look into grid systems and produce a grid from this. I also have the
strength of using thumbnails and thorough testing before creating my layout, making the actual design
process for the decisions a lot more easier due to the initial research and sketches produced.

4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these in the future?
Weakness within my work would be the research side of the design, I should look further into other
publication, other graphic designers and get different research from them, and this would make my design
more informed by graphic designers, and would allow a much more professional design.

5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?
1- Produce cleaner and more initial designs- Cleaner work provides a more accurate and well designed piece
2-Experiment with colour more- Looking further into colour makes your design, a design with a good colour scheme
will instantly stand out and look better from the rest.
3-Look further into research - Looking further into previous graphic designers and what type of grids are trending
at the moment, will make my designs more informed.
4-Take more time producing designs- If I take my time I will think further into my designs and actually spend
more time finishing them properly rather than rushing them.
5-Have more regular crits- Having more feedback would be able to give me opinions and improvements
that could be suggested to my design.
